Press & Quotes
"Dirty Mae have made a name for their striking, cabaret-inspired performances and rare blend of New Orleans blues and soulful folk traditions."
- RJ Frometa, Vents Magazine
"There’s a lot of genre diversity in Dirty Mae’s music, but regardless of the sound, what is always present is that the listener can FEEL it."
- TrunkSpace
"Fireman colors delightfully outside the lines and injects both the traditional storyline and the popular radio hit with a bit of potent femininity and a dusty western coating. Alongside band mates Ben Curtis and Robbie Frost, the group creep through the creaky woodlands for song ("Big Red") that wields urgency and intimacy."
- Jason Scott, B-Sides & Badlands
Indie Witches
"Leaving the event, I felt an utter sense of joy and strength knowing these powerful and talented people are thriving..."
- Sarvani Ramcharran, Indie Witches
Band Bio.
Dirty Mae, the indie folk sensation born and bred in NYC, weaves a musical tapestry blending bluegrass, blues, rock, Latin, and Americana roots. Within three years, they outgrew Harlem, headlining iconic venues like Lucille's at BB Kings and (le) poisson rouge. The trio, co-founded by Cassie Fireman, Robin Frost, and Ben Curtis, infuses their performances with theatrical flair, making each show an engaging experience.
From their hit single "Big Red" to the upcoming album "Grits & Gravy," Dirty Mae's genre-bending magic captivates audiences nationwide. Their dynamic sound, featuring banjo, harmonica, guitar, and more, defies genre categorization—call it "New Orleans Ghost Folk," "indie folk," or "Americana," it's a musical journey that keeps you swinging.
Recently rocking local haunts in the Hudson Valley like Colony & Amanda Palmer’s, Graveside Variety, Dirty Mae's playful yet powerful presence is a must-see. As one fan puts it, "I’ve been going to festivals for 30 years, and Dirty Mae is one of the best groups I’ve ever seen." (M. Cachionne)

“Don’t touch! I’ll be right back!” my dad said pointing to his cold beer. As he disappeared into the bathroom I guzzled down his Bud Light as fast as a 5 year old could. I was free as a bird twirling around in my purple dress singing to everyone. I had the dinner crowd in the palms of my hands for a whole 3 minutes before hitting the ground and vomiting on an old man's shoe. I guess I've always been trying to get back to that magical moment of feeling like I'm one with everyone else and singing does that for me. I'm still just a big kid who wants to play and music is my playground. I'm lucky I get to do this with my band who I love even more than avocados.
